Bahia, in northeastern Brazil, once produced so much cocoa that the region was nicknamed the Cocoa Coast, with the crop underpinning the local economy for generations. In 1989 a fungal disease called witches' broom tore through the plantations, collapsing yields and gutting the industry within a few years. This film follows growers, agronomists, and local officials who lived through the outbreak and lay out the case that the disease's sudden, targeted spread was no accident, but the result of deliberate introduction by human hands. Interviews trace the economic and social fallout across Bahia, from bankrupted farms to emptied towns that had depended on cocoa for their livelihoods, while the film weighs motive, opportunity, and the physical evidence behind the sabotage theory against the more conventional explanation of natural plant pathology. It is a regional story about a global commodity, built on testimony from the people who watched their industry collapse and have spent decades since asking who benefited from it.
